The Dazzle of LightWe've had a few pleasant days where the humidity was down and it felt good to be outside. It's been a little while since I went on a photo walk, so I was just aching for the therapy of shooting just for me. I love the light at the end of the day and I think this excerpt from Walt Whitman's poetry fitting "You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life." One of my favorite places near home is Shaw Nature Reserve. It doesn't matter how many times I visit, or what season, I always find beautiful things. This time, the last rays of sunshine were catching my eye around every corner. Dazzle of the Light"You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life."--- Walt Whitman Purple Cone Flower at Summers End On Sunday evening, I was visiting a friend who just happens to live on a beautiful farm with heavenly views. As the sun was setting on a perfect day, I took a little walk around the property to capture the last rays of sun. Goodnight said the sunGood night said the sun to the tree, with one last kiss of light. Mimosa Tree Mimosa Tree kissed by sunlight Pink Rose Sunset beyond the fence A Warm Welcome And sometimes, everything aligns perfectly. The rays from the setting sun lit up this Sunset Motel sign. The Sunset Motel is located along Old Route 66 near Villa Ridge, MO. Unfortunately, the neon lights were not all working, but the setting sun added just enough of a glimmer to make it shine. Sunset Motel I hope you are as dazzled by the light as I am. If you like my photos, please leave me a comment. I'd love to hear from you. 'Til next time, Wanda
